JFB Construction Holdings Class A ( (JFB) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On February 13, 2026, JFB Construction Holdings signed a merger agreement with Xtend Reality Expansion and newly formed Xtend AI Robotics, Inc., under which an Israeli shell subsidiary will merge into Xtend and a second subsidiary will then merge into JFB, leaving both Xtend and JFB as wholly owned units of Newco. The deal structure will give Xtend shareholders at least 70.5% of Newco and JFB stockholders about 19.9%, with detailed provisions to roll over JFB and Xtend equity into Newco stock and options, plus up to 20 million additional Newco shares as earnout for Xtend investors tied to 2026 and 2027 results.

The transactions are targeted to close in mid‑2026, subject to extensive regulatory clearances, stockholder approvals and a $110 million minimum cash condition that is expected to be met largely via warrant exercises, while a series of support agreements lock in key shareholders on both sides and restrict post‑closing share transfers for 180 days. Alongside the merger signing, JFB completed a private placement on February 18, 2026, raising about $9.2 million in net proceeds from institutional investors, bolstering liquidity for the Xtend SAFE investment and underscoring investor backing for the shift toward an AI‑robotics‑focused public platform.
